From a good friend employed at metal recycling center::In Mi. at least they can't take elec vehicles in because the batteries do not have a set up for handling them yet...They had to tell someone whose car got crunched they could NOT take the vehicle..It was said the potential customer was quite upset because they had no idea how to get rid of it..How's that for "food for thought"?

owner oughta just park it in the right part of detroit for a couple days . . . *VANiSH*
problem solved.
lotta body shops & service techs want nothing to do EVs, either.
nor were guardrails & concrete barricades designed to stop something of their high density/weight. the (portly) Rivian punches through those like an armor-piercing round!

Just imagine the hit you would have to take if you had foolishly bought a class 8 EV.
50,000 gallons of water to extinguish one on fire last week after it ran off the road on east bound I-80 w/the interstate closed in both directions for hours.
Yeah, we need more of these on the road!!

It's a not a talked about subject among the loud minority of believers that climate change can stopped. Those people do not want to talk about recycling of EV batteries....so far there is no environmentally safe way to dispose of used up EV batteries. I read in the news that there was a fire at the Rivian factory parking lot, 60 vehicles were parked there for "repairs", all of them were either destroyed or damaged. The fire department did not try to put the fire out, they only kept it from spreading because it is nearly impossible to completely extinguish a battery fire. I also seen the news report of EV that weighs 2000 lbs or more than a gas-powered vehicle, crashing through barriers designed for the much lighter gas vehicles.

Also not publicized: EVs are still fossil-fueled. Their chargers are powered largely by coal-fired or natural gas-burning power plants.
Wind, solar, and hydro are all small percentages of the electrical grid’s energy.
Bicycles are really the only “green” vehicle. The rest are phony green.
